stomach getting bigger?!

While I have lost 38 lbs in 3 months, I notice my belly is now big again - is it the carbs or what? Anyone else have this situation? I was hoping that a decrease in overall calories and increase in exercise would be enough, but something has shifted.....

I too feel like I can eat more now than most people are posting at 3 months out.

have you discussed this with your PCP? don't really know what to tell you about that. If you've decreased the calories AND the carbs (<40g daily) then you shouldn't be getting bigger. . are you gaining? getting in enough fluids? just thoughts flying through. . . sorry i'm not more of a help. . .
